# DistributeSendMinimal

Set `DistributeSendMinimal` to `True` if you want the DIH to send complete documents only to the server that indexes them.

You can use this distribution mode only when MirrorMode is set to `False`, and in a simple distribution mode (that is, not in DistributeByDate, DistributeByFields, or DistributeByReference mode).

In `DistributeSendMinimal` mode, DIH determines which child server must index the document, and sends the complete document only to that child server. It sends a minimal representation of the document to all other child servers. The content of the minimal representation is defined by the KillDuplicates mode of the original index action.

This mode allows all child servers to perform correct de-duplication, and reduces network traffic to child servers.

NOTE: When you are using the DIH with `DistributeSendMinimal` mode, DIH sends a minimal representation to all child servers to allow deduplication. To deduplicate on a `FieldName`, you must configure a field process in the DIH configuration file with the fields that you want to use to deduplicate. DIH then includes these fields in the representation it sends to its child servers. By default, it sends only the `DREREFERENCE`.

For more information about configuring a field process, refer to the Knowledge Discovery Administration Guide.
